The battle for the Falcons’ fourth wide receiver spot is sure to be a good one. Russell Gage enters the year as the team’s primary slot receiver, but the No. 4 is likely to come down to either Olamide Zaccheaus or Laquon Treadwell.
While neither receiver has a proven track record, both have things they do well. For Zaccheaus, it’s his ability to use his speed to get behind defenses, as he showed in 2019 by recording Atlanta’s longest offensive play of of the season — a 93-yard touchdown catch against the Panthers.
Zaccheaus continues to show that deep speed at Falcons training camp. Watch below as he catches a beautifully thrown deep ball from backup QB Matt Schaub in practice.
